is that documentary, i see it on our t ah, the u. k. u confirms it's deployed troops to poland border with bella roofs for potential assistance to warsaw or to strengthen the frontier. as thousands of migrants from maine kept out in dire conditions that hoping to enter the he you. amid the build up of asylum seekers on the better route, poland border, our t speaks for the people smuggler who takes migrants into western europe and gives us an exclusive insight into the shady business. they don't get caught in germany, but they put them down in asylum centers and after a while they get permit because they flow the id cards. so the company to pull it is german authorities don't know where they come from. and in other news, rising coby cases in australia sees nationwide restrictions re imposed, but only for the unvaccinated. and it's by far not the only country to target those who are refusing the jap, we discussed the ramifications. we know and see that,
1:01 pm
you know, we can see the importance of having the vaccine. however, i think you're just going to different level, wendy's compulsory. i expect cara workers could be immunized that we have to be careful to not let co bid. once again, the math, a lot of the social issues that are going on ah, hello, good to happy with. it's friday evening at 9 here in moscow. my name is colleen bright. welcome to you. well, news for marty international. the big story. we're across that right now. britain has confirmed that it sent a group of soldiers to the pony bella roost border in a deal with walsall. i made an escalating stand off of migrants that's already reached the level of the un security council. but a roost is accusing poland in lithuania, of using the crisis to get extra funding from brussels. but several western members of the un security council sate bella bruce is actually trying to destabilize neighboring countries and allegation that's found little traction with russia. we
1:02 pm
the current european union members of the security council condemn the orchestrated instrument delays zation of human beings. or there is a game or for shifting blaine now or european union. remember about the reasons why these people are really, are fleeing their countries, which countries destroyed or they are countries. international organizations need to be provided with immediate and unhindered access to people there in this, no problem for journalists for jose food. go to the places where the migrants are placed on. on the contrary, there is no excess for ins, yos for journalists, fall into years to the areas where the $15000.00, according to some estimates polish guards. i see jesus. well, this is some of the latest video from the migrant cam posted by the bell russian state border committee. thousands of asylum seekers are in the area right now as they maintain hopes of trying to gain entry to the european union of poland,
1:03 pm
introduced a state of emergency on its eastern frontier with better bruce in september. effectively batting journalists that goes from entering the area, thus hindering efforts to report on the crisis and also provide aid. instead, 15000 polish soldiers were deployed to ensure the migrants didn't get across the border. and as i said earlier, pretty soldiers of now being sent there to address the situation as well. moral mat from a london correspondence, shoddy, edwards, dashti, haley, britain and poland, a very close allies. they have a long history of friendship. and so for to now extending this involvement into what is being seen as a humanitarian crisis, is an act of solidarity and support from westminster, of course, and has been extremely vocal about what it sees as the weapon noise ation of migrants by the government in better route and actually all use is an effort to destabilize the european union. now, bella reese, of course, obviously denies all of this, but bertha now getting involved could be interpreted as an escalation of all of
1:04 pm
these issues. although. 8 britain is certainly not wanting it to be seen in got way . however, the ministry of defense here in the united kingdom has now announced that a small team of armed forces armed personnel have now been deployed to poland. we're not exactly sure of what small team really means in terms of the numbers, but they all that to provide engineering support. interesting to see what exactly that engineering support may look like. we've also seen a statement from the polish defense minister as well, who says that troops have now joined the recognizance mission with their polish counterparts on the board. and now that basically means ascertaining certain strategic operations and surveying what options that they may have trying to navigate away out of this humanitarian crisis. so it will be really interesting. now to see what difference does the british government getting involved really make? well, we see anything really different happening on the board to,
1:05 pm
particularly for these migrants that will be interesting to see how the international community react to it. and crucially, whether they see it as an escalation or the movement of people we're currently seeing at the barrows, poland border is happening elsewhere on a much larger scale. an influx of people fleeing conflicts in the middle east began years ago, that there are now well established routes to get into western europe. let's have a look at some of those now. a popular route starts from pakistan and afghanistan. they had through eastern europe before reaching italy and then on to germany. in fact, the u. n says that 75000 migrants of travel through bosnia and herzegovina since 2018 artes. maria finacialow spoke to a people smuggler who was offering to take migrants into northern germany. was walden ward? i think these people illegally crossed the border because their governments did not allow them to went to europe using legal methods. they tried to flee and get as quickly as possible to european countries like germany,
1:06 pm
switzerland. some of them are on the run for 3 to 4 years as soon as they cost that border and get into germany, it's a done deal and they are free to travel anywhere within the european union. they don't get caught in germany, but they put them down an asylum centers. and after a while they get permits because they flow their id cards so they can't be deported as german authority. don't know where they come from. basically we were trying to help them find a better life. otherwise they most likely would have been caught, put in some kind of asylum center and then reported back to their home countries. now, as soon as they cross the border and get to germany, they are free. it was scary. the 1st time i did this adrenalin fear police drone arrests, a lot of my friends got caught while transporting them. the migrants were sent back and they, my friends, went to prison. most of the activities had done during the night. there were wild animals, you wait and hedges or canals until you cross over. that kind of thing. we came
1:07 pm
across all kinds of migrants from algeria juniors, ear, egypt. i don't know, but there were all kinds which we honestly transported from the gel gina to cause in where as others trick them, stolen them left them on the side of the road, which we stole the money from them. we got no, it was who, when you look at than they look mostly poor and don't look like terrorists. i've become involved in this business over time for many years, having known some people wages here, a lo, so it is what it is. so for transporting them, you get paid. well, while simultaneously helping some one, it's $300.00 to $500.00 euros per person all elia. maria joined andrew pharma to expand on her interview and also talk about the risks that my grants are prepared to take. i remember how surprised i was to 1st here at that max of is not his real name to go around any people across the border and that the price is between 30500 . yours person. we felt he didn't tell us the truth, but i just couldn't understand why would he lie?
1:08 pm
but later off camera, he admitted what he was doing during the interview. he was trying to deliberately diminish these numbers for security reasons. but in all other aspects, facts and details he gave us, i can tell you, he was quite honest. my job in the last few years at least was to transport migrants along with my team from bacel, gina where people had previously transferred them across the serbian border through improvised methods. so we picked them up and transport them obviously at night through some wooded areas. sometimes 510, sometimes 20, mostly kick is in and the clergy in a region where other people then transported the mom. the path was through serbia and also through small or big boats where they would sneak in. they also sometimes travel by laurie's. they get under a laurie, it's a tough road. they come to turkey and also bulgaria, basically through the poor country, so to speak, like albania, bosnia and then they go to croatia, germany and from there elsewhere from turkey,
1:09 pm
they get transported to bulgaria, while bulgaria is in the european union. if they get caught there, they get sent back to turkey because there are no asylum laws allowing them to stay there legally. so they come here because it's easier to migrate from here to the european union. we have to understand it, whose web covering quite a significant part of the world. and in all trends and countries, let's say from pakistan to germany. you have to understand there are people like mac that you as a migrant have to go and pay. as we heard you and things, something like 70000 people have gone through that country in order to try to get to western europe. why is that? why is it such a popular route? first, if the shortest possible way to get to be today. but there is another reason both, and he's also famous for being loyal to these kind of people because of their pat, of its past, because they still remember how does it feel to be refugee and how does it feel run away from your roads, motherland. the war there was over more than 25 years ago,
1:10 pm
but they still remember it. and i can say in a level of, of talking to people still sympathize with refugees and migrants. and another reason, the part from the countries past in the present, the reason the very high level of corruption and very complicated political system and a very high unemployment rate and all day is altogether push so many youngsters down the criminal business while you were filming. and thought you saw or managed to speak to migrant student. you who sort of going through that trying to get to western europe and heard 1st time their experience, most if you and illegal migrant and you want to go to europe, you have basically 2 options to go to people like macs, but that's in case you have money, another option is to do it on your own. and i mean, that's really scary. that's more dangerous. you can get caught and no one can give you any guarantee that you will ever succeed. but still many people choose the 2nd option because they don't have money. they don't have other choice. we often max to take us on his normal journey from a to be how he usually takes migrants, you know,
1:11 pm
to the equation border out with, in bosnia and on the way there. well, we would just try the, we saw several groups of micros and we stopped twice. and 1st group was from nissan . they left the country 4 months ago, right before the talib came to power there. and another group was from pakistan. they were like 20 people there. i was, i was like shocked. and we stop and talk. and 1st i was so surprised they were not hiding in austin why? and they told us they have the official refugee paper is given to them by the boss and authorities. speaking about how loyal this country is to these people. so if they try to cross the board and they get deported, they can only be reported back to bosnia, so they don't have to do the whole journey from scratch from pakistan. are you going, going to tell you the value how many you 6
1:12 pm
times please just invoice and then you try again. so you have been walking on the final when did you leave bucket time right before you left by keystone 2 years ago. and you still want to go? i don't. the one, the one not going the, you're in bosnia filming, for new documentary. yeah. tell us more about that. we were filming a documentary about one serbian guy living in serbian part of both now who long time ago wants to become a priest, but became a soldier. and that because the war came to his motherland, and he had to defend his family and his country basically. but after the war was over, more than 25 years ago, he was still looking for it somehow. and this is how he ended up working for companies like black water and how he start traveling to places like iraq,
1:13 pm
afghanistan, g, booty, israel on, can all, all the countries, many of them in africa, with so called private security missions. so it's very emotional, very actually said documentary about this person he, he explained to us that he was pushed 1st to doing that to be a soldier. but after that, he got kind of like wor, addiction, so it's not too much about hate him, but the raw, it leads to bigger messages that i want to send. first is that wars are so bad. but the situation in postwar conflict countries is sometimes even more dramatic and that should be addressed at another message which is especially important for me as a piece advocate is that there are so many wars and conflicts in more than world that people like our main character whose name is to sion will hardly be left jobless anytime soon,
1:14 pm
and that is very sad onto all that he is now in germany, the coven situations taken a grim turn as infection rates continue to break national records with the country reporting its highest daily number of new corona, virus cases, since the pandemic began, hospitals are increasingly under pressure, and the authorities are calling for urgent action. as peter oliver reports from berlin in grim, that figures have been coming out of germany over the last 48 hours. really, they've been pretty grim figures for the last few weeks. marcus zada, the leader of the state of bavaria. he's been expressing serious concern about the number of hospital admissions that we've had across germany. saying that the health care system is really creaking to its breaking point. practiced. the fact is that the hospitals are full, they are at their limits, both in terms of the workload and the emotional situation. that is why it's important that we act now soon. we've also heard from jen spahn,
1:15 pm
the german health minister of interim health minister. we still don't have a, a new government here. exactly yet. and but yet spawn has said that free coven tests will be re introduced. now they were done away with a little while ago. and once they were gotten rid of, we saw the numbers start to go up because it had been very easy for germans to get a test. if you thought you may have any particular issues, there was one on almost every corner you go in, you get it done, was done in around 1015 minutes. they were then taken away. you can still get tests done, but you have to pay for them. and we've seen numbers rise again. this isn't just a german issue though. we're also seeing situations in austria and the netherlands as well, severely restricting the freedoms of those who cannot prove if they've been vaccinated, or in some cases, that they've recovered from coven 19. now in germany, the vaccination rate is around 67 percent that's lower considerably than the 75 percent. that health experts have said, countries need to,
1:16 pm
or populations need to meet in order for the vaccination to be as successful as it can be. often the lager and even if the situation is different, because so many are vaccinated, it is still not good, especially because not enough citizens have taken advantage of the availability of the vaccine. and that's why we have to continue to be careful severe, right? well, we're being told here in germany to avoid large events and limit contact. certainly all situations that would be not advised if you listen to what the, the robert cock institute of how to say about limiting the amount of contact and limiting the possibility of catching cove. it as case numbers rise here in germany significantly. well as her peter mentioned there, austria is also suffering reco daily cobra cases, prompting the government to bring in special restrictions, but only for the unvaccinated. i don't see why 2 thirds should lose their freedom because one 3rd is dithering for meats. clear that there should be no log down for
1:17 pm
the vaccinated out of solidarity for the unvaccinated. from monday then they'll be tough restrictions from vaccinated people in austria's to hardest head regions. that means they'll only be allowed to leave their homes for a central reasons, such as to buy groceries, see a doctor or go to work. and parliament will decide on sunday, on the nation wide imposition of such measures elsewhere around the world. other moves being taken in singapore, for example, kobe patients who declined the jap will have to pay for their own medical bills, regions in germany, or limiting restaurants, bars and clubs to only those who are inoculated were recently recovered from the disease in greece, visitors to restaurants, state services and banks must present vaccination certificates or negative test results. and here in russia, in the city of st. petersburg, the authorities there are imposing mandatory vaccinations for senior citizens. we discuss the impact of these measures with medical and social expert. will be a better way to convince people to another, to protect themselves,
1:18 pm
but also protect others. we emphasize the law on handwriting and infection control measures and being sensible. no, so i am safe distance. and so i just feel that the whole force, compulsory takes it to another level. it just takes away the choice. and i think that's deeply worrying on county or the restriction is largely based on trying to prevent transmission or just trying to get the numbers up to make sure more people are vaccinated. as they say circulating society. no, we want to get the numbers off because if you get the numbers up a number of positive benefits, a crew one, the person is protected from severe illness and dine. that's one second. they're most unlikely to end up in the hospital. and then the 3rd, a immunized person is infectious for a short period of time. what we're seeing is a lot of confusion in maybe even some moral panic and hysteria that's coming from
1:19 pm
a lot of these bubbles and communities that are sharing a concerns about the fears of not being vaccinated or the fears are being vaccinated. i'm way still vulnerable in, in our places what like, you know, i'm patients have visitors come in, you know, there's lots of people coming in to the hospitals and i think it's quite unfair to just target those, those health care work because you know and force it in i think a lot of it, when not really, i mean i went to and see vaccine. you know, we can see the importance of having to vaccine. however, i think it just going to different level when is compulsory insensitive places? sometimes one ruble of patients severely, clinically wonderful, etc. we've got to off, but you are safe to manage them. and therefore if you are working in that area, you've got to be immunized. certainly, i don't know how many my students are vaccinated or not at universities in the u. k . really like sharing that information. it's going to create
1:20 pm
a scenario where these passports in these documents really have us looking one way or another at somebody and the social ramifications of this, including the immense, any qualities that could come from the treatment of each other. because of these laws and whether people conform or not, i have been talking to a lot of health care workers who have been hesitant about vaccines. a lot of them from menacing homes. and i gave them of my time effort and energy, showing them how the vaccine works, what it does, what it doesn't do, how to protect them, and in the end, most of them went on to get immunized. so we need to do our homework of inform, advise, educate as well, when county we were so, so some of the anger from u. k. care home workers about being told by politicians to get a vaccination. but that will be people who remember back to last spring, and that was fatality numbers in u. k. k. homes who are going to be thinking, if i'm putting my relative in these care homes, i want people to be vaccinated,
1:21 pm
they're going to be where it may be. find that behavior selfish? yes, i expect co workers to be immunized because unfortunately, this corona virus can be infectious and could kill the elderly people without your knowing on the day and you were infectious. we have to be careful to not let co bid, once again mass a lot of the social issues that are going on in society that have been a long time affecting people, causing deaths, housing, long time ambulance weights. there are lots of issues that are underlying this to we just like co overtake here with the government instead of mandatory a covey vaccinations. what would you do to convince people to get a job? it's not so much about convincing people being and people it be mandatory. i think it's more about giving people the choice and given them all the information that they require and letting them have the choice. french authorities are reportedly
1:22 pm
investigating an alleged rape at the at least say palace after a female soldier accused a colleague of a sold revolting from paris his shot to betsy. present. michael as may tackling violence against women, a key corner stone, off his presidency. so he will be pretty embarrassed at the moment of these revelations that this serious sexual assault may have occurred that the elisa palace. what we know so far is that there is a female soldier who's accused a colleague of hers, a male soldier who also worked at the eliza of attacking her back at the end of june, beginning of july. we know she made the complaint on july 1st to the police, and then that this judicial investigation into this serious alleged sexual assault was opened about 2 weeks later on july 12th, we understand the 2 soldiers worked together on a day to day basis. and this alleged rape took place off for a party, a party. the president mac on had attended himself,
1:23 pm
but we understand he had left several hours before this alleged sexual incident had taken place at now there are reports at the elisa was made aware of this pretty quickly and has since been dealing with this with extreme discreet meant or we understand that there has been advice or listening and they also accompanied the female soldier in making this complaint. but there has been no official comment from the elisa palace, the presidential palace where president macklin lives here. there's also been no comment from the ministry of the armed forces in regards to this, but we understand that a rape investigation has also been opened by the armed forces. we understand the soldier who's been accused of carrying out that sexual felt as offense, has been suspended and at the moment is being treated as a witness in this judicial investigation. which means that they haven't been
1:24 pm
charged to date with any offense. however, what this will raise is questions once again about the decision by the elisa, less to hide this under the carpet, to sweep it under the carpet rather than being public about this very serious incident. that is said to have occurred under the noses at the elisa palace just a few years ago. or you may remember the case of alexandra panella. this is a security 8, a former security aid present. mack on who just recently was found guilty of assaulting protesters at a protest back in around 2018. at the time the uneasy palace was made aware of that, but decided not to reveal her information to the press. instead, a was leaked in the press several months later, and this once again begs the same sort of question as to why this information has been kept under wraps and many b. b, wondering whether the eliza palace has indeed not learned its lessons from the past
1:25 pm
. an arms race, rushes relations with nato and the bell roost migrant crisis. those are the main topics of the meeting of the french and russian defense ministers and top diplomats in parishes artes alia patricia reports. paris is now hosting an international conference on libya, and this is the reason why both the russian foreign minister and the minister of defense flew over to paris at the same time on 2 different planes. and this opens up a unique opportunity for them to, to be able to talk to their french counterpart at the same time. that is for people, some of the most influential when it comes to international diplomacy and military affairs, together in one room. and this is exactly what is happening right now at the french foreign ministry behind my shoulder. behind closed doors, then deeds. there are quite
1:26 pm
a few things which make this get together cruelly. remarkable. in particular, the decision by the french side not to give any axes to journalists whatsoever. and i'm not even talking about, given up on the press conference we weren't allowed inside at all. we couldn't see the handshake why. i don't have the answer. now ahead of the meeting, it became abundantly clear that both sides one to use this opportunity to send very strong messages to each other. i guess it's even fair to say that we were expecting a true diplomatic rebukes. pretty much. moscow is furious about what he has been up to in east ukraine. moscow saying that keith is not sticking to the so called minsk agreements. and the russians want paris to at least try and fix that. so store for on the find the fronts is wounding, it'll raise the question of ukraine means for me and understanding that they won't avoid responsibility for key is behavior that undermines the minsk agreements and ignores all the advice about the lack of an alternative to those agreements. now,
1:27 pm
paris and tard once moscow to keep alexander lucas shank of the president of bell ruse. ad vague. when it comes to his influence on the migrant crisis, on the polish bell russian border. it's obvious that if russia isn't part of the problem, it's at least part of the solution as belarus is dependent on moscow is growing stronger. it doesn't mean though, that there isn't absolutely any thing that russia and brand see i to i on the visit of to sir gays, joy, go and lab rob to paris provides for a number of great opportunities in particular for example, on the discussion on the revival of the so called iran nuclear deal was that the politicians can talk face to face about how they can cooperate on dealing with the consequences of the taliban take over in afghanistan for instance.
1:28 pm
well, one of the issues they discussed was russia's assistance to the west african nation of molly foreign minister, sagel of rav offered to unite with paris to fight terrorism in the region. it's after he pledged to continue military cooperation to defend molly, despite mounting criticism from some western states. he made that announcement off a tour with his counterparts from the west african nation. we, when you ma'am, we realized the need to support molly's ability to combat terrorism on we're providing the country with the necessary equipment as weapons and ammunition. and we'll, we'll do whatever is necessary to prevent threats to mali, statehood and territorial integrity. the power vacuum should not be allowed after the decision where a french counterparts knew that was due to rules what it had been france that was helping the transitional government fight terror, but it began closing basis that last month, molly's prime minister said the french had abandoned his country and possessed evidence that it was even training local terrorist groups of african affairs
1:29 pm
analysts says the west to this, a warped view of the situation that the difficulty is that the europe, like the united states views a world through the lenses of a geopolitical telescope, disease way of thinking that the whole world is divided up between who's on top and bottom. and they don't want to see purely do political reasons. they don't want to see russia having foothold and possibly growing influence in parts of africa, including molly. therefore, the french cannot really help molly, unless they actually change the whole outlook and how they deal with africa. next, all you need to know to keep your online life safe, for especially once you see just how easy it is to get hacked without even knowing about it live from moscow. this is our to international ah,
1:30 pm
l look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where such order that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about our personal intelligence at the point obviously is too great trust rather than fear a job with artificial intelligence. real, somebody with a robot must protect its own existence with how is the economy working for.
